AOL unveils new broadband pricing

AOL UK today introduced a new portfolio of broadband services designed to deliver choice, clarity and value to UK Internet users by focusing on straightforward pricing with no upfront fees, no capacity limits and no surcharges for 'heavy' usage – plus a free customer helpline.

AOL UK, which has more than 325,000 broadband subscribers, has also broken the £20 barrier with its new entry-level broadband service, which will cost just £19.99 a month for an always-on connection at up to 256Kbps downstream and upstream.

AOL Broadband Gold (up to 512Kbps) will now cost £24.99 instead of £27.99 a month and AOL Broadband Platinum (up to 1Mbps), previously £34.99 a month, will now cost £29.99 - a market-leading price."
